"Ya lo entenderás"

Question

I'm confused by this expression. It should be "You already will understand it". It's from a show, but I see a million hits on google for this. I can understand "you will understand it" but why "ya" there? Can it mean "soon enough" like "You will understand it soon enough?" gracias.

Answer 1

I found some examples of the future use of "ya" in SpanishDict and in Wordreference:

* ya te llamaré  -- I'll give you a ring some time
* ¡ya te agarraré yo a ti! -- I'll get you sooner or later!
* ya hablaremos -- we'll talk later
* ya verás -- you'll (soon) see 
* ya lo entenderás -- you'll understand one day

Awesome. I'm going to use it for "soon enough" because I think that feels well with this future tense. - jeezzle, MAR 14, 2010

It's like "you will understand it someday"
